美国习惯用语-第316讲:和"胃与腹"有关的习语
<p>我们今天要讲的习惯用语有这个词：<span word="stomach">stomach</span>。<span word="Stomach">Stomach</span>可以指胃或者腹部。我们来学第一个习惯用语：<span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="bigger">bigger</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span>。这句话直译就是眼睛比胃口大。我们有时看到自己爱吃的东西就贪心地拿了好多，但是我们的肠胃却容纳不下，<span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="bigger">bigger</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span>描述的就是这种情况。好，我们来听个例子，说话的人特爱吃意大利烤馅饼，也就是<span word="pizza">pizza</span>。</p><p>例句-1：<span word="Every">Every</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="pizza">pizza</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="take">take</span> <span word="too">too</span> <span word="much">much</span>. <span word="Last">Last</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="couldnt">couldnt</span> <span word="finish">finish</span> <span word="it">it</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="still">still</span> <span word="ate">ate</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="throw">throw</span> <span word="up">up</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="guess">guess</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="say">say</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="bigger">bigger</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span>. 我们每回吃<span word="pizza">pizza</span>我总是要得太多。上次我实在吃不下，而我还是吃太多，以至吐了出来。我猜你可能会说我眼睛大胃口小了。</p><p>所以<span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="bigger">bigger</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span>，思就是想要多吃点儿，但是胃口却容纳不下。</p><p>我们来学下一个习惯用语：<span word="butterflies">butterflies</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span>。<span word="Butterflies">Butterflies</span>是蝴蝶，想象一下如果有好几只蝴蝶在你肚子里上下翻飞，那该是什么样的滋味呢?当然是七上八下地折腾，很不好受。蝴蝶是飞不进肚子里的，这显然是比喻的说法。它形容甚么样的心理状态呢? 让我们听个例子来琢磨，说的是<span word="Jennifer">Jennifer</span>求职面谈的事儿。</p><p>例句-2：<span word="When">When</span> <span word="Jennifer">Jennifer</span> <span word="went">went</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="job">job</span> <span word="interview">interview</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="law">law</span> <span word="firm">firm</span>, <span word="she">she</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="plenty">plenty</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="butterflies">butterflies</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span>. <span word="Luckily">Luckily</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="interview">interview</span> <span word="went">went</span> <span word="well">well</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="got">got</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="job">job</span>. 当<span word="Jennifer">Jennifer</span>去那家法律咨询公司求职面谈的时候心里七上八下的非常紧张，幸亏面谈顺利，她得到了那个工作。</p>
